Environment Variables (Recommended)

To keep your GitHub PAT secure and reusable across different MCP hosts:

1. Store your PAT in environment variables

   bash

   export GITHUB_PAT=your_token_here
   

   Or create a .env file:

   env

   GITHUB_PAT=your_token_here
   

2. Protect your .env file

   bash

   # Add to .gitignore to prevent accidental commits
   echo ".env" >> .gitignore
   

3. Reference the token in configurations

   bash

   # CLI usage
   claude mcp add github -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=$GITHUB_PAT -- docker run -i --rm -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server
   
   # In config files (where supported)
   "env": {
     "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "$GITHUB_PAT"
   }
   

Note: Environment variable support varies by host app and IDE. Some applications (like Windsurf) require hardcoded tokens in config files.

Token Security Best Practices

• Minimum scopes: Only grant necessary permissions

  • repo - Repository operations
  • read:packages - Docker image access
  • read:org - Organization team access

• Separate tokens: Use different PATs for different projects/environments

• Regular rotation: Update tokens periodically

• Never commit: Keep tokens out of version control

• File permissions: Restrict access to config files containing tokens

  bash

  chmod 600 ~/.your-app/config.json
